The Rise Of The Unwanted Girl (Athena) novel Chapter 418

Chapter 418

Upon hearing Lance’s words, a weary look crossed Athena’s face. Athena tossed the medicinal herbs into the wicker basket and snapped, “Enough is enough! I won’t see them.”

Lance frowned with concern. “Lady Eloise is on her knees at the gate, praying for Lady Margaret. With her stubborn demeanor, I doubt she will move unless you go to see her.”

Athena raised an eyebrow in surprise. “A threat?” she said, her voice laced with sarcasm.

‘Praying for Grandma? What a joke,’ Athena thought. ‘She’s just trying to blackmail her, attempting to force her out. It’s hard to believe Lady Eloise would stoop this low for Willow.‘

Athena bit her lip, her chest feeling tight as if it might burst from anger. At that moment, just hearing the name Eloise was enough to make Athena fume.

Athena had finally reached her limit with their bullying. She stood up abruptly and walked out. Jessa was munching when she noticed Athena storming out in anger. Eagerly, she quickly caught up, her eyes shining with anticipation, and asked, “Milady, are we going to fight?”

Jessa thought, ‘I’ve been stuck in this manor for so long that I’m going stir–crazy! A fight would be just perfect!‘

Athena, fully aware of Jessa’s abilities, said to her, “No, we are not.”

Jessa had always acted on her whims, disregarding propriety and decorum. Worried that her good intentions might backfire, Athena had quickly warned her, “Don’t act rashly.” Though the Duke of Suffield’s people had been a nuisance, resorting to violence would have changed everything.

Jessa nodded blankly. “Okay.” Jessa thought, ‘All these arguments within the house are such a hassle. The worst part? I can’t even throw a punch–it’s so frustrating!‘

Athena strode to the door and swung it open, only to find Eloise on her knees at the entrance, hands clasped in mock prayer

Eloise’s eyes burned with tears as they spilled down her cheeks. Athena’s icy demeanor pierced her heart like a sharp blade. “Lady Eloise, you’ve already trampled all over me–do you truly expect me to treat you with any respect?”
